Thread: using GPS as a rangefinder

A decent range finder is worth its weight.

Range find the animal, take the shot, leave some loo paper up high where you can hopefully spot it, looking back, take a bearing with the GPS or compass as to where the animal was. Then go looking. You have the distant and rough bearing to reverse. Puts me within Cooee of the animal where shot. Better than nothing. Better still get a good Dog.
